New Patterns

I am getting ready to launch several new patterns. I always have trouble coming up with fun and interesting names for my quilts and my patterns. So I thought I would run a contest and the winner will receive a copy of my new patterns hot off the presses when they are printed. Here are the two new fused patterns. One is three versions of Blue and Green Jack-in-the-Pulpits, and the other is two versions in Purple/Pink of Jack-in-the-Pulpits.

These are just gorgeous. I like Lisa's name of Jack Dragons. But I'd like to throw in Fossil Jacks as my entry, only because I think these patterns would look gorgeous done in Fossil Ferns and they are kind of Ferns too. So that's my entry choice. Thanks for giving us this opportunity.

I don't know if any of these names would help you name your patterns but my grandfather used to call jack-in-the-pulpits "Indian Turnips." Probably not the best name. Grandma called them "Reverent Jacks" and the lady around the bend from us called them "Magical Jacks" because she had a low spot that flooded in the spring. As soon as the water receded, the jack-in-the-pulpits popped up everywhere - hence the magical. Pesonally I like "Reverent Jacks" the best although I don't know if it's a good selling name for your pattern. No matter what you name them, the new patterns are beautiful.

Joyous Jacks or Joyour Jack In The Pulpits- Just Jacks or Just Jack In The Pulpit- Justified Jacks or Justified Jack In The Pulpit- Jubilant Jacks or Jubilant Jack in the Pulpits. Peaceful Jacks or Peaceful Jacks in The Pulpits.

I showed your blog regarding the jack-in-the-pulpit patterns and she would like to suggest "Plant of Peace." She said she always loved seeing them every spring and they made her feel peaceful and happy.
